Question

me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 and half years. we lived together for the two years and now i moved back to los angeles and he lives in sd. how can one cope from living together and now don't? will this work?

Answer 1

If you both want it to and are willing to make it work, then yes it will. If you lose patience, lose your love for each other, and give up on your relationship because you are meeting new people, then no it will not. Look with your hearts. If you love each other, you will do what ever it takes to be together, even if it takes long drives, phone chats, e-mails, web cams, save money etc... If you are willing to make the sacrafices so you can be together eventually then you will have a chance. If you look into the future and do not ever see yourself moving to where they are or vice versa... then there is no point in keeping the relationship together and moving on might be the answer. Ask yourselves how much do you love eachother? Do you both want to be with eachother forever? If you both love eachother with all your hearts and want to be together forever and are sincere about your feelings then there is a great possibility you can make it work.

Answer 2

Sometimes it does but what tends to happpen is that you make new friends to compensate for not having each other and meet someone new usually without any intention of it going anywhere other than friends but unfortunately thats the way it tends tobe, so i personally don't believe it can work unless of course your only talking a couple of months in which case ,yes but if your talking permanent why on earth didnt you move with him if you've lived together all this time ?

Answer 3

Face it, relationship's are work.... It's hard if your together or apart... If you both want the same things from a relationship then it's possible....But everyone's individual needs don't always come at the same time, so your vulnerable to meeting someone else when each of you are apart.... It happened to me, 4 years long distance....I was happy , he was not, and I didn't know it, so you know what happened from there........ Well I am glad because now I do have my soul mate..... Good Luck To You...

Answer 4

yes it can with lots of hard work and a lot of money to make sure that you see each other

but why, if you are not together, they you dont really want to be together, if something is more inportant then what you have, that what you have was not the great

this is right unless some one is taking care of sick family or such

Answer 5

Yes it can work you 2 want it to work and are willing to go that extra distance of making an effort to make it work.

Answer 6

I hate to say it, but only time will tell.

After 2.5 years, why did you split?

What terms did you agree upon when you left?

A little more explanation of why the split would help me help you better.

Answer 7

Answer 8
